BGP EVPN topology
This deployment guide uses EVPN/VXLAN to achieve the following:
• Tunneling of Layer 2 overlay virtual networks through a physical Layer 3 leaf-spine underlay
network using VXLAN-based EVPN to allow VxRail to communicate across four networks:
- ESXi Management
- vSAN
- vMotion
- VxRail management
